Although most people think of plush furnishings and elaborate creams and oils when they think of a day at the spa, Austin’s Milk + Honey Day Spa takes an entirely different approach to a day of pampering. This modern spa focuses on healing, wellness, and relaxation through its natural and organic treatments, and its stylish environment is comfortable yet sparse. Wooden walls, minimal furnishings, and airy, light-filled rooms feel completely tranquil and inspiring at the same time.

Milk + Honey provides treatments for both men and women, including massages, facials, and nail treatments for hands and feet. Many guests choose to purchase treatment packages that offer multiple services for a discounted rate. Whether you’re booking a bridal shower or you simply want to pamper yourself on a day off, Milk + Honey Day Spa will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

Milk + Honey Day Spa is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Santa Catarina Restaurant takes an entirely different approach to Mexican cuisine and coastal classics. The restaurant uses only the freshest produce and highest quality meats, and each dish is prepared with olive or canola oil to keep it light and healthy.

Appetizers like ceviche and Mexican totopo nachos make a great pre-meal snack, while entrees include fresh soups, Yucatan-style fajitas, and grilled cactus salads. Tres leches cake and traditional flan are served for dessert, and Santa Catarina’s margaritas are made from scratch and handcrafted with care. With its eclectic Mexican decor, dim lighting, and patio lined with heavy curtains, this is a unique option for lunch, dinner, and even Sunday brunch.

Santa Catarina Restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, remaining open until 10 p.m. on weekends. Sunday hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

When styled correctly, a coffee table can have a positive impact on the overall aesthetic of a space. However, there's a fine line between a chic display and a cluttered mess. Here are three tips to help ensure your table is making the right statement.

1) Only display items worthy of displaying.
That is to say, if you're not proud of the item, then said item doesn't deserve a spot on your coffee table–even if it is your favorite weekly tabloid! Stash keys, spare change, stray papers, remote controls, and mail elsewhere. Or if you prefer, a decorative box can provide storage for these items.

2) Display items of varying heights.
Use an eye-catching tray and stacks of hardcover books to create the bottom-most layer of your display. Shorter candles and bowls can complement taller pieces, like oversized hurricane vases and flower arrangements. Just be sure to edit your display so that the table doesn't become cluttered.

3) Make it yours.
Your table should reflect your personality. If you have a favorite quirky collectible or a treasured family heirloom, this is the place to show it off!
